Due to advice from his doctors, Drake will not be performing at Wireless Festivalthis weekend in the UK. In a statement released by the festival, Drizzy announced that he became ill over the past few days and though he is recovering, he has not been medically cleared to fly or perform.

The festival is set to go on anyway, with Rudimental performing an extended set on Friday night in Birmingham, and Kanye West filling in with an additional headlining performance on Saturday night in London.

It's worth noting that Drake is scheduled to host ESPN's ESPY Awards on July 8. Read Drake's full statement about his cancellation below, and stay tuned for more details when they are made available.
